Certification Certifications Microsoft Microsoft Azure

Last Monday, I passed the Microsoft AZ-140 exam: Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop Configuration and Operation. And with that exam, I earned the Azure Virtual Desktop Specialty Certification. If you plan to take this exam, you must have experience in Azure technologies; My recommendation is to already have the Microsoft Azure Administrator certification before taking this exam. It would also be better to understand local virtual desktop infrastructure technologies. And, of course, you must know how to use ARM templates to perform resource deployment.
